Searching for “Beauford Hotel” returns several different properties: a pub-style hotel in Newcastle, New South Wales, a North Wales hotel six miles from Chester, a waterfront North Carolina hotel, and a boutique stay in Knightsbridge. This guide separates the four using local business listings, official hotel materials and TripAdvisor reviews, so you can identify the right Beauford or Beaufort before you book.

What is on the Beauford Hotel menu?

The menu at the Beauford Hotel is pub food, plain and filling. The Localvenue profile describes a front bar and bistro serving basic pub meals such as burgers and schnitzels, with a good selection of beers on tap.

Bistro lunch specials

The kitchen promotes a $12 lunch special every day, posted on the hotel’s Instagram feed. The same directory carries a reviewer note praising the value while describing the bistro menu as limited.

Drinks and drive-through

The Beauford works as a full pub rather than a restaurant. The front bar handles counter service, and a drive-through bottleshop lets customers pick up takeaway drinks without leaving the car. The same Localvenue listing notes a good selection of beers on tap.

The bottom line: the kitchen is priced and portioned for regulars — $12 lunch specials and pub staples rather than elaborate dishes.

Where is the Beauford Hotel located?

Newcastle, NSW

The Beauford Hotel sits on Maitland Road in Mayfield, a suburb of Newcastle in New South Wales. The LocalSearch business profile lists the address as 39 Maitland Road, Mayfield NSW 2304, and gives the phone number +61 2 4044 5023. Unlike the hotels further down this list, this property has no official website; the directory points to a Facebook page.

Getting there

If you need directions, parking advice or a confirmation of bistro hours, the phone number on the business profile — +61 2 4044 5023 — is the most reliable contact point.

What this means: travelers planning a Newcastle stop are looking at this “Beauford”; UK and US itineraries point to the other three properties below.

Beauford vs Beaufort: which property are you searching for?

The one-letter spelling gap explains most of the confusion. These four properties regularly surface together in search results, and they serve very different travelers.

Other similarly named hotels in search results

Two more properties can appear in the same results. The Beaufort Hotel in Inverness, Scotland, is a separate hotel in the Scottish Highlands; its TripAdvisor UK listing shows mixed feedback on service. In Malaysia, the Beuford Hotel in Melaka — a third spelling — carries a 2.9/5 average on TripAdvisor from about 50 reviews, with its lowest subscores in service and sleep quality.

Same-name confusion is a recurring pattern in hotel search; our Augusta Hotel Guide: Australia Pub-Hotel vs Mallorca Resort walks through another example.

Which property fits which traveler?

Families looking for a relaxed pub meal have the easiest fit at the Newcastle hotel; the Localvenue profile and its reviews point to a friendly front bar and a budget lunch menu. Wedding planners should weigh the North Wales venue for a Chester-adjacent celebration or the North Carolina hotel for a waterfront ballroom at scale. Diners on a budget get the clearest answer from the $12 Newcastle lunch special. Travelers near Harrods are best matched to The Beaufort in Knightsbridge.

“Friendly staff, good value lunch specials and cold beer.”

What do Beaufort Hotel reviews say?

The Beaufort, Knightsbridge

TripAdvisor pins down The Beaufort in a single description: a friendly, attractive boutique hotel on a tree-lined cul-de-sac near Harrods. The same listing notes that Harrods is a few minutes’ walk away.

“A friendly, attractive boutique hotel in a tree-lined cul-de-sac near Harrods.”

Beaufort Hotel NC

The North Carolina property is reviewed far more heavily. Its official site describes a waterfront property overlooking Taylor Creek in Beaufort, North Carolina. TripAdvisor’s Norwegian edition gives the hotel 4.5 out of 5, a No. 1 ranking among Beaufort hotels and a Travellers’ Choice 2026 badge. The Australian edition of TripAdvisor lists 133 rooms, a nightly range of roughly AU$245–AU$500, and summarizes guest feedback as praise for spacious, stylish rooms, water views, cleanliness and the on-site restaurant, alongside occasional complaints about high prices and service during busy periods.

One German-language review warns that on weekends the hotel can feel like a wedding factory, with a noisy lobby and a packed bar-restaurant. That is a single review rather than a pattern, but it is a useful signal if you are visiting outside a wedding party.

“On weekends, it can feel like a wedding factory.”

What to watch: wedding volume, not room quality, is the main variable at the North Carolina property.

How much does a Beaufort Hotel wedding cost?

Wedding packages at Beaufort Park Hotel

Beaufort Park Hotel in North Wales positions itself as a wedding and events venue, with the official site noting a location about six miles from Chester. No package price list is published in the materials we reviewed. Wedding costs here are quoted on request, so the practical next step is to contact the venue directly with your date and guest count.

Across the Atlantic, more detail is public. The Beaufort Hotel NC’s wedding-venues page lists the Rachel Carson Ballroom at 4,378 square feet — sized for receptions of up to roughly 500 guests or about 240 seated for a banquet — plus the Shackleford Room and outdoor pavilion and lawn areas for ceremonies. A wedding-packages PDF on the hotel’s site describes the property as a destination wedding venue on the Crystal Coast.

“Seamless planning, attentive staff and high-quality food and bar service.”

Price expectations at a glance

• Budget: The Beauford Hotel, Newcastle — $12 lunch specials and pub-priced meals; the listings we reviewed focus on the bistro and bottleshop rather than overnight stays.
• Mid-range, quote required: Beaufort Park Hotel, North Wales — no published rates; weddings quoted on request.
• Mid-to-upper: Beaufort Hotel, NC — about AU$245–AU$500 per night for a standard room, per TripAdvisor.
• Boutique, rates not published in reviewed sources: The Beaufort, Knightsbridge.

Why this matters: when a venue publishes no prices, the quoted rate is the only number that counts. Ask for a written proposal before comparing venues.

What photos are available of The Beaufort Knightsbridge?

Photo gallery

Photos of The Beaufort are not hard to find. The hotel’s official website carries a photo gallery of the property, and TripAdvisor hosts additional traveler photos. Both sources document the hotel as a boutique property in its Knightsbridge setting — the same tree-lined cul-de-sac that comes up in reviews.

The implication: use the official gallery for atmosphere and traveler photos for room scale.

Is there a restaurant at the Beaufort Hotel?

Bistro dining

Yes, if you mean the Newcastle pub. The Beauford Hotel’s bistro is open for lunch Tuesday to Sunday, and the everyday offer is the $12 lunch special. The Localvenue profile describes the dining room as a straightforward pub bistro with burgers and schnitzels, not a hotel restaurant.

The other Beauforts answer differently:

• Beaufort Hotel NC: TripAdvisor’s summary highlights an on-site restaurant, and the hotel’s wedding materials include food and bar service as part of the event offering.
• Beaufort Park Hotel and The Beaufort, Knightsbridge: tied to events and their surrounding neighborhoods; the reviewed sources do not describe standalone restaurants at either venue.

The catch: only the Newcastle bistro publishes a menu and a price. The other properties fold dining into events or leave it to the neighborhood.

Our pick: match the name to your plan
